#workspell

Ingredients: powdered cinnamon, powdered cardamom, powdered cloves, patchouli oil, a white tea light, a carving stick or wire (I use the end of an old incense stick), and incense that fits the vibe you’re wanting (in this case, I used what we had on hand - one “healing” incense stick, two “peace” incense sticks.)

Process:

First I mixed the powdered spices then added a few drops of patchouli and kind of kneaded the powder with my hands, then stirred it with my finger in a clockwise rotation (to increase the love I feel for work.)

I decided to make this spell reciprocal - I carved into the top, side, and bottom of the candle in a full circle each time, “I ❤️ work ❤️s me.” I didn’t seal this with my name, because it felt overly coercive and the intent of this spell is not to control but more to influence, soothe, and entice me to enjoy my work and for my work to give me back that energy. It’s an invitation more like a flirtation than anything coercive.

I then rolled the candle in the powder and oil until it was covered, then re-mixed the remaining powder in a clockwise direction, set the candle on the powder, set the incense around it, and lit it, keeping in mind my intention.

Note: I am staying with my candle till it burns out - the powder could create a fire hazard, and any unattended candle can potentially be a fire hazard so please do not leave your burning candles unattended. Most of the time they are fine, but we have had some close calls.
